Upper-mid Back Pain Only After Sleeping

[quiXilver]

For about 6 weeks I have been experiencing mid back pain when I wake up in the morning.  The pain is so bad, I cannot go back to sleep, and NO position change helps.  I must get out of bed and start walking around or sit in a chair for the pain to start going away.  After an hour or two, the pain basically disappears.  The pain seems to be emanating from my spine, and tensing up the back muscles nearest the spine.  

I have been seeing a chiropractor/massage therapist for about 4 weeks now, and it has not helped, because the pain is only after I sleep!

I am 23 years old. I help my dad deliver produce 2 times a week in the morning, and I am also a full time sales associate at Sears selling electronics (which I'm on my feet all day.)  That may cause a little lower back pain, but it goes away when I'm not working.

I have used a contour pillow, slept in all different kinds of positions (back and both sides), I always sleep with a full body pillow, and nothing has seemed to help.

I would appreciate any suggestions, thanks!

  Hi every body suffer from that
pain

Do you have a congenital twisted spinal column ? And Did you
try to twist your spinal column ?

or

Do you have a normal spinal column ? And you have tried to
twist your spinal column Strongly to be more flexible?

if this is happen

the solution is that

you have to accept your original spine

  try to go back to your congenital design

so

  you have to adjust your mattress to fit with your original
column's design by  slight elevate somewhere under your
back

put slight small tissue layers

I tried this and this pain disappeared

Pray for me God bless you all

Are you still around Mike? I hope so. Thanks a ton for your input here. I'm a sufferer as well and am going to try to work on posture and trigger point release for the next few weeks and see what works.

Thank you for the info. I haven't been to a Dr. yet as I am worried they'll just put me on medication, but I hadn't thought of a spine specialist.

Thanks again!

Yes, I've experienced this on both sides, but mostly on my right side.

It is difficult to make generalizations here. I have severe spine disease, a degenerative condition that has come on over many years.

During the early years of this process, before I knew that anything was wrong, I'd have idiopathic LBP that would last for 6 weeks or so and then fade. I'd be left in peace for months or years, and then it would happen again. Sometimes the pain would be disabling, and sometimes it would be both sharp and aching for weeks on end. Usually the medical advice I'd get would be either -- lay in bed for a month and take aspirin, or to take a course of PT for 6 weeks.

They don't recommend bed rest anymore, of course, and sometimes chiropractic can help.

But for you, it is difficult to say why you have this pain -- age, weight, posture, activity, ergonomics at work, quality of mattress, quality of shoes, muscle strain, "pinched" nerve, and a dozen other factors may be contributing to your pain syndrome.

Best bet for an answer is to consult with a spine specialist for a history and physical exam, have some films taken, and find out what's going on with you.

Best wishes.
